36-INCH COOKTOP AND CUTOUT DIMENSIONS
INSTALLATION OPTIONS
INSTALLATION ABOVE A BUILT-IN OVEN OR
WARMING DRAWER
Thermador Induction Cooktops may be installed above
a Thermador Single Built-in Oven. A minimum 1" air
gap must be maintained between the bottom of the
cooktop and the top of the oven.
Thermador Cooktops may also be installed above a
Thermador Warming Drawer to create a convenient
cooking center. Refer to the warming drawer section
for additional specifications.
IMPORTANT
We strongly recommend the installation of a Thermador
Ventilation System with this induction cooktop.
Seal the surfaces of the cutout to make them heat
resistant. This prevents the surfaces from expanding
as a result of humidity.
Solid surface countertops often require special
installation. For example, heat reflective tape or
rounded corners may be necessary. Contact the
countertop manufacturer for instructions specific
to your countertop.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of ignition of nearby combustible
materials, install the countertop with a minimum
distance of 2" (51 mm) from both side walls and the
back wall.
HEAT SHIELD
The heat shield will require an additional 1" clearance
below the cooktop. For safety reasons, the heat shield
must be properly installed. This prevents components
from overheating as a result of the recirculation of
hot air from the cooktop. The heat shield is the same
width as the cooktop. For shipping, it is screwed to the
burner box. Once installed, the heat shield will be able
to rotate freely, as shown in the illustration. Refer to the
instructions packed with product for installation details.
NOTE:
The work surface should be
horizontal and level. The stability of
the countertop should be confirmed
even after making the cutout.
